HTTP Inspection Policies

HTTP > HTTP Inspection > Policies

The HTTP Inspection Policy list at HTTP > HTTP Inspection > Policies shows all HTTP Inspection (IPv4 and/or IPv6) policies on the system—enabled as well as disabled. Click Add to create a new policy, or click a policy name to edit an existing one.  

Editing an HTTP Inspection policy requires clicking on the policy name, then clicking the Rule tab.

• Enable HTTP Inspection—Globally controls the enabled status of all policies; overrides the status of an individual policy. (Click Save after enabling or disabling HTTP Inspection.)

• Add—Opens the Add Policy wizard that takes you through the steps to define a new policy.

• Policy Name—Click a name to edit the settings.

• Priority—Sets the order of precedence — if two conflicting policies overlap in their scope, the policy with the higher priority (closer to 1) will be applied and the other ignored. MORE>>

  IWSVA HTTP Inspection Policy evaluates a given Web request first by finding out which group, if any, the requesting client is a member of, and then by evaluating which policy or policies are in effect for that group.

  If the client is affected by more than one policy, the policy with the highest priority is applied.

• Note: The HTTP Inspection Global Policy is the default policy. It automatically applies to all users, but also always takes the lowest priority. Any policy with a higher priority in the list will take precedence.

• Deploy Policies—Click this button after creating or modifying an HTTP Inspection policy to have it take effect immediately.
